  • Memories of Withington from WWII Onwards
    1 Memories of Withington from WWII onwards The interviewee, whose early memories are of Withington during WWII, wishes to remain anonymous Interview: April 10th 2015 by Ruth Shepherd This is about the house which was bombed on Parkville Road – a house on the left of the passage as you face Parkville Road. That was bombed in 1940. It was bombed, I think, during the night and we had an air raid shelter in the garden. I was only about 4, and I remember during the war when there was an air raid my father used to comeup to my bedroom and carry me down outside into the air raid shelter. And it was particularly fierce the bombing one night and there was this terrific explosion which we heard and my mother, my father and I were in the shelter. My mother was very distressed because she thought it was so loud it must have been our house which was bombed. When the all-clear siren went the next morning, my father went out of the shelter – it was underground and there were steps down and steps out - and I remember him saying, ”It’s alright, love, the house is still here.” We found out it was a house in Parkville Road and also a house in Arnfield Road– number 4 Arnfield Road - which was occupied by people called Gadsby. They were in the shelter and they were not harmed. I don’t know what happened to the people in the Parkville Road house which was bombed. I don’t know whether they were killed or what.
